Hello and thank you for visiting! I have been a Captain for just about 10 years now. Grew up fishing on Lake Erie since I was a little boy. My dad & neighbors would take me out fishing. I was 1st mating for 5 years before my buddy said to me," You like being out here more than I do, you should get your Captain license!" That's all it took and here I am now....

Hello and thank you for visiting!
I have been a Captain for just about 10 years now.
Grew up fishing on Lake Erie since I was a little boy. My dad & neighbors would take me out fishing.
I was 1st mating for 5 years before my buddy said to me," You like being out here more than I do, you should get your Captain license!" That's all it took and here I am now.
I am also a veteran
of the U.S. Army & very proud of it!
I mostly troll for the Walleye but ultimately up to the clients if we trool, cast or drift.
Everyone over the age of 16 is required to have a valid Ohio fishing license.
All rods, bait & tackle are provided.
Bring some rain gear just in case of inclement weather. Also bring some beverages & snacks for your trip. Fish cleaning is available at additional cost.
Our trips are 7 hours dock to dock or limit of fish, or whichever comes first.
We always have a great time on the Walleye Hunter & hope to see you aboard!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
